WiFi/Xfi (DS 10/24/18)(IS 10/2018) Flashcards
A network where devices are connected to each other and shared resources using radio signals that conform to a common standard.
Wireless Networks
The most common wireless standard in use
WiFi (802.11)
Who governs the WiFi standards
(IEEE) the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
Links two or more devices within a single building or location using a wireless distribution method, providing a connection through an access point to the Internet.
Wireless Local Area Networks (LAN)
Connects different LANs together. They interconnect buildings and cities together. The cover large areas such as towns and cities.
Wireless Wide Area Networks (WAN)
These replace wires and cables of wired networks
